I'm allergic to capsaicin. Like actually allergic, I get a rash and swell badly when I come into contact with it. It makes eating out, or anything pre-packaged, really hard for me. Generic ingredients like "spices" usually include something I can't have. It really sucks. I get made fun of and people even try to "prove me wrong" by shoving spicy food in my face or tampering with my food, since they assume I just don't like the heat or spicy foods. Not that at all. I will actually die if I eat it. It's what scares me the most. I've had coworkers try to poison me, to see if I am just overexaggerating, and they got away with it because people just don't believe I really am allergic. It's scary. Imagine if I, or anyone, did this to someone claiming a peanut allergy. Everyone would be right on their side immediately.

As a child people thought me very strange as I wasn't a huge fan of sweets. I in fact had what people called a green tooth as I loved vegetables of all kind(except raw tomatoes). Any parents of friends who had me over for dinner loved the fact that I had seconds and thirds of vegetables (unless they were mushy, can't stand mushy vegetables)

PTC is soooo bitter! We did a PTC taste test in high school and wow - about 10 of us could taste it, while the other 20 couldn’t taste it at all.
Oddly enough, I love bitter and sour foods: lemons, grapefruit, broccoli, brussel sprouts etc.
I’m probably a super-taster as well as I’ve always been able to eat something and pick out individual flavours/ingredients as well, even tiny amounts of spices and herbs, which comes in handy when attempting to recreate dishes I’ve eaten while travelling.

Fun thing about lactose intolerance: it seems to be partly epigenetic. One big exception to East Asians having LI is Mongols, whose traditional diet is like half milk based. The idea is that populations where dairy was common for a long time, like Europe and India, just develop a tolerance for it, and it's not purely genetic.

Then there's the aromatic sister of taste... in the nose. A bad concussion robbed me of my sense of smell a few years ago, which really diminished my enjoyment of foods. I can still taste the big four (SSSB) and I'm not quite convinced if umami counts, but it's just not the same without the olfactory. Anosmia sucks.

I have a pretty extreme example of this. I have a rare metabolic disease, called Citrin Deficiency. It's a urea cycle disorder that is due to a lack of the protein Citrulin in my body, which is required to break down carbohydrates. So, I don't like carbs! I've never been able to handle super sweet foods, don't like bread, and so on. Because the body is awesome, it also gives me an affinity for fat, since your body uses fat for energy after carbohydrates! So, although I don't like bread, if I lather butter on it, I can eat the buttery parts at least. So, carbohydrates make me very sick, but unlike someone with Celiac who may still crave gluten-containing foods, I don't even like high-carb foods. This makes self-management of the condition very easy, because my food preferences fall into the ratio of protein:fat:carb that I am supposed to have!

I just got Covid for the first time last week and I’m upset to find that anything vinegar smells like rubbing alcohol. I noticed it when I put habanero hot sauce on my eggs and could hardly taste any spice but mostly tasted rubbing alcohol. After I was disappointed with the only meal I forced myself to eat I cleaned the kitchen. We use distilled white vinegar for our kitchen surfaces and that’s when I figured it out. I thought I grabbed the wrong spray bottle at first. It’s disappointing because vinegar is one of my favorite flavors, such as pickles or salt and vinegar chips or sweet and sour soup, sauerkraut etc.

Would you guys consider making a video about how our sense of smell affects our sense of taste? I feel like I have a very sensitive nose and that prevents me from liking a bunch of things other people like, because I think they smell bad. For exemple: I can't stand the smell of coffee, alcoholic beverages, onions, beef...

I like how you pointed out that experience has an impact. I enjoy sardines. When I was very young, my grandfather was told to eat them for health purposes, and he'd share them with me. Since they're "Grandpa food," I enjoy them greatly without actually liking the flavor all that much.
